Warner Bros. is leaning into Minecraft Movie mayhem by announcing “Block Party Edition” screenings, which encourage the audience to sing and talk along with the smash hit film.
As the video game adaptation starring Jack Black edges into its second month in theaters, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have come up with a screening stunt to try and spark another round of repeat viewing this weekend.
The screenings will embrace fans singing and “meme-ing along” to their favorite moments. The enthusiastic announcement reads, “Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures invite fans back to the theater to experience A Minecraft Movie together in a whole new way! You know the moments. You know the lines. You love the songs! Now it’s time to get loose, laugh out loud and belt out those lyrics like a true diamond-tier fan.”
The Block Party Edition screenings will be held this Friday, May 2, in North America and in select international markets.
The announcement follows A Minecraft Movie opening weekend trend where fans got overly rowdy in some theaters — throwing popcorn and engaging in other acts of mild chaos. The disruption may have taxed theater employees, but the Minecraft fandom’s embrace of the film gave theater owners some much-needed spring box office relief.
A Minecraft Movie has grossed $815 million at the global box office, hugely exceeding expectations and potentially launching a new franchise. So far, the film is the biggest domestic hit of 2025 (Disney’s upcoming Lilo & Stitch is expected to test that lead).
A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits who are pulled through a portal into a cubic world and must embark on a quest back to the real world with the help of an expert crafter named Steve (Black). A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, is the first-ever big screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, which is considered the best-selling video game of all time. The film also stars Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Hansen, with Jennifer Coolidge.
